@akshayruser
Cybersecurity professional focused on SOC monitoring and incident response.
What I'm looking for
I am a cybersecurity graduate with hands-on SOC experience in threat detection, log analysis, and incident response using Wazuh, Suricata, and UFW. I completed a 30-Day SOC Challenge emphasizing Blue Team operations and have practical experience across both Blue and Red Team practices.
I have interned as a Cyber Security Analyst and Cyber Security Intern, where I monitored systems for suspicious activity, supported incident documentation, identified risks, and conducted assessments using tools like Burp Suite, Nmap, Wireshark and Metasploit. I have delivered SOC practicals including FIM configuration, Nmap scan detection, and SSH brute-force detection with containment.
My projects include a Node.js Password Cracking Resistance Analyzer, a Python VirusTotal automation tool, and a Flask-based Multi-Factor Authentication system; I apply secure coding practices and automation to improve detection and remediation. I am eager to contribute as a SOC Analyst Intern and deliver practical security solutions for real-world environments.
